Southern Africa
Mandela's home region
Southern Africa is the southernmost region of the African continent, typically including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Lesotho, Eswatini, and sometimes Angola.
The term describes both a geographic area and a geopolitical grouping: Southern Africa faces severe drought conditions.
Distinguish from South Africa, which is a single country within the region.
